Driving it most likely. I've got a rear disc conversion that needs fitting but never got round to it this year so see what happens next year.

Either way nothing will happen now until April next year when she comes out from the winter hibernation.

mines coming into my workshop for some paint this winter, im thinking of some desert storm arch mods but i havent decided yet...

finish the engine thats now underway again.

in the new year it will be having diffs, and some interior work, and after using the t4 for some time, it may have a gt35 or the like fitted...

but mainly just use and abuse it


oh and the fast ford shoot will be done

fit the teins and whiteline front and rear roll bars, rosejointed drop links, antilift kit, polybush the whole car, get geometry set up on its track wheels then test to see how far its out on the road wheels, maybe mark them up and re adjust

fit some decent bucket seats and harnesses then get hold of a block and start a rebuild ready for when this engine dies
